Vision for Vermont

Vermont is a small state with a long tradition of enacting innovative solutions that help and empower people while leading the way for other states and for our country. I am passionate about listening, learning and building bipartisan programs that help hard-working Vermonters while investing in our future.

As your representative in Montpelier,
my priorities would include:

INVESTING IN NORTHSHIRE FAMILIES

Affordable Healthcare: Affordable healthcare should be a right for every Vermonter, not a privilege dependent on how much you earn or an employer’s ability to provide it.

Support and Improve Public Education: All children should have access to outstanding public education for grades pre-K through 16, and families should be able to take advantage of Vermont’s long-standing, innovative tradition of school choice.

Protect our Environment: Defending and conserving our environment—water, land and air—will ensure health and prosperity not only today, but for future generations of Vermonters.

Combat Climate Change: A forward-looking green economy will create new jobs and economic opportunities while helping Vermont mitigate and adapt to climate change.

Expand Vermont’s Workforce: Our future lies in promoting a dynamic, diverse “green” economy. Vermont can and should lead the nation in tackling climate change while building the economy of the future. We need workforce training and new business opportunities in climate adaptation and mitigation, renewable energy, clean transportation, food and agriculture, tourism and outdoor recreation, small business, high tech and the arts. If we are proactive and creative about dealing with climate change, we can create new jobs, attract new residents, and provide far better options for young people to stay in Vermont and build a life here.

In Vermont, regular citizens can have a powerful and effective voice.I’m ready to use your voice—and my voice—to create lasting change.
